Welcome to

The British government wants 10% of the country’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2010 (it’s a start), and so presumably to encourage those that are doing well, the UK Department of Trade and Industry has highlighted 10 green energy projects that started operation in 2005 and are “leading the way”. Energy minister Malcolm Wicks said: “The projects highlighted have certainly made their contribution to reducing carbon emissions and increasing the megawatt capacity that comes from green sources” and “helped people understand ‘what renewable energy is and where it comes from.’”
